There are plenty of Indian people who take the necessary steps to eat great Indian food and not smell like it.

Always keep the hoodfan on high, close all bedroom doors in the house, put away all clothes, don't cook in the clothes you're gonna wear out, open windows, light candles/incense. There's a whole process that goes into to ensure you don't stink.
This man should be educated on it.
One of my best friends is east Indian, he has never in his life stunk of food. I had been to his parents house many times growing up and their place never stunk like some other houses I have been to.

My friend is a manager and would be the first one to show the guy from the OP the door. He complains about other peoples smell more than anyone I know, be it smoke, BO, or food smell.

I disagree with you Sliver, I think carrying around the smell of last nights dinner with you does show poor hygiene which is a perfectly acceptable reason to not hire a candidate. Especially with more and more offices going to perfume/cologne free zones.
